Product Overview

Front View

#	Feature	Description
A	Dual outlet with pass-through	Two standard US outlets on the Power Base Module. One outlet powers the Connectivity Module internally (via USB-C); the other remains available for other devices. The device works in both ground-prong-down and ground-prong-up installations.
B	Connectivity Module	Upper half of the enclosure. Contains the nRF54 radio, NFC antenna, and optional WiFi/battery subsystems.
C	Status LED	Addressable RGB LED near the top of the Connectivity Module. Indicates system health when activated.
D	Enclosure seam	Separates the Power Base Module (lower) from the Connectivity Module (upper).
E	Service pinhole (side)	Located on the side of the enclosure. Recessed button accessible with a SIM-eject tool or paperclip. Used for power-on (5 s hold), status check (short press), reboot (~3 s hold), and factory reset (hold while plugging in for 10 s).

Installation

1. Insert the EverTag Station directly into a standard wall outlet.
2. Power on the device using the service button (5-second hold via the pinhole on the side) or via NFC using CB Admin. See Quick Start — Step 2 for details.
3. Proceed to Quick Start — Step 3 for configuration.

One outlet powers the Connectivity Module internally; the other remains available for other devices. The device supports both ground-prong-down and ground-prong-up wall outlet configurations.

Orientation

Always install with the Connectivity Module (telematics module) facing up. The device supports wall outlets with the ground prong either up or down.

Consistent Height

For best positioning accuracy, install all anchors at the same height across the installation. Use outlets at a consistent elevation whenever possible. Avoid placing directly behind large metal objects or inside metal enclosures.

Placement Guidelines

Wirepas Mesh Coverage

The EverTag Station acts as a fixed anchor in the Wirepas Mesh network. Placement affects positioning accuracy and network reliability.

Guideline	Recommendation
Height	Install all anchors at the same height across the installation for best positioning accuracy
Spacing	15–30 m between anchors (indoor, line-of-sight)
Avoid	Metal enclosures, behind thick concrete walls, near high-power RF sources
Minimum anchors	3 anchors for 2D positioning
Orientation	Front face (NFC antenna side) should face the coverage area

WiFi Gateway Placement (232012, 232013)

Gateway variants additionally need WiFi connectivity to your site network. Consider:

Guideline	Recommendation
WiFi signal	Place within range of your site WiFi access point
Band preference	Use 5 GHz WiFi when available. This offloads the 2.4 GHz band used by Wirepas Mesh, improving both WiFi and mesh performance. 2.4 GHz WiFi is supported but not recommended.
Line of sight	Prefer line-of-sight to the WiFi access point when possible
